Error - KIOExec File not found: mailto:a@b.c

Hello,

My system is Arch linux 5.6.14-arch1-1, fully updated.

A) Under KDE 5.18.5

1) In "Settings" the mailer was changed to thunderbird (/usr/bin/thunderbird ) with or without %u.
2) When trying to open a mailto:a@b.c link in a PDF file I receive a message in a small popup window :
    Error - KIOExec File not found: mailto:a@b.c
3) I do a new (forced) update with :
   

sudo pacman -Syyu; sudo pacman -S kio

=> kio was reinstalled, but the issue persists when using okular, qpdfview, xpdf, but that works perfectly with evince !

Trying now directly :
   

kde-open5 mailto:a@b.c

I get the following message :
  command= "/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird %u" args= ("/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird %u", "mailto:a@b.c")
  kf5.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'mailto'.\n"
and again also in a small popup window :
  Error - KIOExec File not found: mailto:a@b.c
The direct command :
   

/usr/bin/thunderbird mailto:a@b.c

works perfectly, hopefully.

Note that all dirs and subdirs in ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/* belong to me.
Trying :
   

kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental

changes nothing.

4) I create the following (identical) files :
  ~/.local/share/kde5/services/sendto.desktop
  ~/.local/share/kde5/services/ServiceMenus/sendto.desktop
  ~/.local/share/kde5/services/searchproviders/sendto.desktop

with the following commands (as seen somewhere on the web) :
  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Service
  Actions=SendToMailRcp
  Encoding=UTF-8
  MimeType=application/octet-stream
  X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
  X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
  X-KDE-Submenu=Send To
  [Desktop Action SendToMailRcp]
  Name=Send e-mail using Thunderbird
  Exec=thunderbird -compose "attachment='$(echo %F | sed 's/\\ \\//,\\/\\//g')'"

But this changed nothing !

B) Under XFCE

This works perfectly. For instance, in okular, the mailto:a@b.c link is opened in thunderbird.

I have not try other environments because I prefer KDE for many reasons.

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for your attention.
